Great Increase of European
nmlpration.

The revival of trade in the United
States and Canada has led To II sub
stantial increase in the proportions Of
the emigration from Europe. So pro.
nounced Is this that nearly all the At
lantic lines have issued notices to their
agents to stop booking for the present.
The special feature Of this position is
that numbers of mechanics are going
out, especially brlcklayers, plasterers
and masons, from Scotland, Wales and
the northern districts Of England, in
response to advices from the other side,
that good openings are DOW presenting
themselves To craftsmen of that kind.
The general prospects of the emigra-
tion trade are equally brisk. The Ger
man lines are understood already fully
booked, and a considerable accession To
the number ofGermans passing through
Liverpool is expected. Swedes also, q,
and NOrwegians are fully TO the fore.
Altogether the emigration trade OF the
current season is more brisk than at
any time during the previous seven
years, and the prospects point TO a lon Q
period OF activity.

Convict Labor Products.

Convicts must be employed. One of
the common incentives to crime is The
love of idleness and hatred Of honest Ia
bor, and labor is the best possible re-
formatory punishment for most crimih-
ais, besides teaching them habits and
methods of industry which may be use
full to them when discharged from pris-
son. Besides, crime is a heavy tax on
the honesty of the land, and convict
labor should be made to contribute
something to the cost of its support.
But there is no necessity for so using
convict labor as to destroy, or even serl-
ously impair any of our productive In
dustries. Our penitentiaries should
not be conyerted into great mills or
factories to develope the highest per-
fection of abor-saying machinery and
the greatest cheapness of product.
Such use of our prisons is neither just
nor practicable. 1t is not the place to
develope the highest mechanical skill,
and there is no propriety in the State
employing skilful machlniSts, etc. out
side of her prisons, to cheaper the prod
uct of convict labor.
We regard the protest against the in
PRODUCTION of the pest perfected ma
chinery for the manufacture of mats
and mating in the Western Penitenti-
ary as entirely justified. 1t is shown by
carefully prepared and reliable data on
the subject that if the Legislature shall
make the appropriation asked for, and
thus convert large portion of the
Western Penitentiary into great man.
ufacturing establishment. it would alb
solutely destroy every other establish
ment of the kind in the country. The
fact that the industry is not large one,
is no answer to the objection. Large
or small it is legitimate and well-es-
tablished productive industry, protected
by our tariff laws, which admit the raw
material free and impose duty upon
the manufactured article; and there IS
no reason why it should be destroy ed
by converting our prisons into mills
and factories. Give our cOnyictS Work.

RHODE ISLAND Democrats glory over
the sweeping victory gained by them
in last Wednesdays election. And
SO they can. The state has been
strongly republican for many years
past and this new turn of tie political
face is an important and significant re-
suit of long and determined struggle.
Every man on the Democratic state
ticket was elected by a fair plurality,
while the present indications point to
a majority in the legislature. John
w. Davis, the winning candidate for
governor has an official majority of
937, Ziba o. Slccum was elected at
torney general by 2.5ls majority,
while J. G.. Perry, the democratic can
didate for treasurer will have a ma
jority of 2,6O9. If straws tell which
way the wind blows there will be a
regular democratic blizzard in 1888,
which will scatter the fragments of the
Republican party so badly that they
will be hard to find for years after.
The roosters can't help growing when
they have the chance.

EXPERIENCE is said to be the best

EXPERIENCE is said to be the best
teacher. Nevertheless the English
government does not seem to iced its
lessons at leatt as far as Ireland is
concerned. To restore peace and
quiet in that country the English min
istry show q decided preference for
the old policy, namely coercion, and
give the just and better policy of home
rule the cold shoulder. To look at the
endless chain of coercion laws with
which England has burdened Ireland
in the past, and then consider that af-
ter all, these laws had but one tenden.
cythat of making still greater
concessions to Ireland, it seems in
conceivable folly in the British state
men to continue in their stubborn
course. If England hab only to deal
w ith the Irish in Ireland there might
be remote chance of success. Past
experience however ought to have
taught them, that in this national
struggle all the Irish men scattered ov-
er the whole world take q hand and
that coercion will not only increase the
embittered feeling in Ireland but a.
rouse the genuine sympathy and
enthusiasm of the Irish in foreign
countries, who in their desire to see
their countrymen freed from the Eng
lish'yoke, will make the greatest sacrili-
ces and lend the most effective help
| to accomplish this end.

THE frequency and evident necessi-
ty of veto messages under President
Cleveland's administration is matter
which has created considerable COM
ment of late years. An official COM
pilatlon of all the veto messages sent
to congress, beginning with the 5th
of April 1892, shows total num-
ber of 245, of which 1l3 were issued
by Cleveland himself, leaving a bal
ance of 132 for Cleveland's predecess-
ors. Another interesting fact which
comes to notice is, that of these 1872 ve-
toed bills % were passed over the We
toes, while the last congress refused to
recognize only two of Cleveland's ll3
vetoes. The attempt of Cleveland's s
political enemies to censure him for
the many vetoes has as yet received
very little encouragement from the
people. On the contrary the country
feels sure that the President made
such good use of the vetoing power in
the interest of the people, and their
con fdence in his administration is
growing daily.

are to investigate the affairs of the

THE Knights of Labor of this state

which was addressed in a mastery
way by their leader, Mr.. Powderly.
In his remarks he EN- phatically con-
demmed the anarchists and called at
tention to the sobriety and good be-
havior of the members of the Knights
of Labor organization. Among the
important resolutions adopted by the
convention is one which sympathizes
with the farmer and promises support
to Legislation in the farmers interest.
The main object of the convention
was to discuss pending legislation in
reference to labor, which was done in
a quiet and orderly way.

Blaine and BodWell.
A Little Incident Which Proves
that Mr.. Blaine is Out of
Politics.

Portland, Me-, Special to the New York Times.
Nothing which has occurred in Maine
for some time has caused SO much COM
ment and criticism as the yetoing of
the medical registration bill by Govern
or Bodwell. The bill was to prevent
quacks and incompetent persons from
practicing medicine without passing an
examination. The Governor regarded
1T as a proper bill, signed it and sent it
to the Secretary Of States Office for
record. That very night Mr.. Blaine
had the Governor and Attorney Gener-
al Baker in his study.
"You must veto that medical bill" !"
thundered Mr.. Blaine. "Its passage
means the loss of 10000 votes to us.
We can't stand that. Every spiritual
ist would vote against us. The bill
must and shall be vetoed" saidthe dis
tinguished son of Maine.
"But have signed it,' remarked the
subdued Governor.
"That makes no difference. A yetoe
must be written, taking constitution
al ground against the principles of the
measure. Baker will prepare the yetoe
message for you. L am too excited to
write it myself"
That settled it. The Governors
name was scratched from the bill, the
record of his signature wiped out and
the vetoe message sent into the Senate.

Pollution fan the Air and Water.
Medical .Tournal.I

Sir Henry Thompson and English
physicians who understand the thing
say that all enteric fevers, such as ty-
plus, cholera and the Oriental plague
itself, are due to positive pollution in
the air and water. Historiographers of
disease tell us that the cholera comes
from the mouth of the Ganges, the vel
low fever from the mouth of the Missis-
sippi, and the plague from the mouth of
the Nile Now the Mediterranean is an
obvious focus and hotbed of enteric
poison, and has been so ever since the
days of the Athenian plague, which
Thucydides chronicled. It's tideless
waters accumulate unspeakable filth and
garbage. The present cholera COM
menced and found it's chief seat in
Marseilles, which is, perhaps, the most
pestilential port in the world.

was made the commander of the dis
trict, and Lowell FL. Rousseau received
the surrender of the territory. Alaska

United States eighteen years.
